How to Make Paludah Fresh Melon And Peach Compote

  1. Halve the honeydew melon and scoop out the seeds and stringy pulp.
  2. Using a melon baller or small spoon, scoop out as many melon balls as possible.
  3. Place the melon balls in a large bowl.
  4. Gently pour any juice collected from the melon halves over the melon balls. Discard the remaining melon rinds.
  5. Sprinkle the melon balls with salt and toss gently to coat.
  6. Add the diced peaches, sugar, lemon juice, and rose water to the bowl.
  7. Gently toss to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  8. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely chilled. The flavors will meld beautifully during this chilling time.
  9. Once chilled, serve the Paludah in individual bowls or glasses.
  10. Garnish with crushed ice or shaved ice, if desired. Fresh mint sprigs also make a lovely garnish.
